Answer: In ecosystems, matter and energy are transferred from one form to another. Matter refers to all of the living and nonliving things in that environment. Nutrients and living matter are passed from producers to consumers, then broken down by decomposers. Decomposers break down dead plant and animal matter.

How many CO2 molecules are produced when three glucose molecules undergo cellular respiration? Explan

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

18 molecules of $CO_{2}$

Explanation:

In heterotrophic nutrition, organisms ingest or absorb food made by autotrophs to obtain energy. Planta and other photosynthesizing organisms make sugars via photosynthesis, in a form of (partly) light-dependent biosynthesis.

In mitochondria, they break down sugars through aerobic respiration. For the sugar glucose, this results in the production of carbon dioxide and water along with energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

glucose+ oxygen → carbon dioxide+ water+ energy

For 3 molecules of glucose, multiply the number of reactants and products...

(C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP ) x 3

Thus...

3 C6H12O6+ 18 O2 → 18 CO2 + 18 H2O + ≅114 ATP

You and your dog are walking along a pond. Your dog looks into the still water and is startled to see its reflection. Which phen

quester [9]

The dog's reflection on the water's surface is because of light rays reflecting off the dog and onto the water to create a mirror image.
